Lisa M. Palin is a geek. She gets very excited about graveyard history, old fancy houses, battleships, and historical politicians. She can talk for hours about the creative process of writing. She has been known to deliver a smackdown in an argument about public policy and then abandon the argument in favor of a game of Brick, only to think of a final point and bring up the argument again later.

Lisa M. Palin is a fraternity brother. Don’t suggest that women should be called sisters because she’s heard it before and it will just cause her to roll her eyes.

Lisa M. Palin is a hiker, a camper, and an advocate for the National Park System. And that’s why you’re here, so why don’t you get on with reading about that, instead of this.
